Luton Town have handed Andros Townsend a long-term contract.

The winger, 32, signed a short-term deal last summer which was due to expire this month.

'Three months ago I thought my career was over,' Townsend said.

'So from going to begging around the world just for a trial to being offered a longer contract is a dream come true.'

After his exit from Everton, Townsend signed a three-month deal at Kenilworth Road, and despite not playing a competitive match since March 2022, he has impressed on the pitch, with 11 Premier League appearances, two assists and one goal, the winner in their home game against Newcastle just before Christmas.
